The United States have already voiced statements of intention to
leave the OSCE Minsk Group in order not to come across Russia, which
is understandable, said famous political scientist Vafa Quluzade,
assessing possible exclusion of the negotiation process on Nagorno
Karabakh issue from under the control of the OSCE Minsk Group.
"After Russia's open aggression against Georgia, the relations
between the Kremlin and the White House have extremely cooled",
said the political scientist.
According to him, the OSCE Minsk Group activity has already become a
jest and there is no trust left to this structure. He said, therefore,
the talks about the suspension of the OSCE Minsk Group activity are
becoming more frequent.
As for the Turkish proposal of the idea to create the Caucasus platform
for peace and cooperation, he said the appearance of this structure
may interest the sides which are doing everything possible for the
negotiation process on Nagorno Karabakh conflict to further proceed.
However, he noted that this coalition will also not give anything to
Azerbaijan, like it was in the case of the OSCE Minsk Group. According
to him it is just the next talking shop to promote meetings in Russia
and Turkey and perhaps in Yerevan and Baku.
"I do not rule out that the visits of official Baku representatives
to Yerevan and vise versa will be arranged in the framework of this
project. It will be presented as a proof of serious progress in the
negotiation process. However, no achievements can be expected in the
issue of the return of the occupied lands and we will witness the
next imitation of the negotiation process", said he.
